Most often, >we're the only couple in the group. My wife has tried a touring kayak a couple of times but doesn't really care for it. However, she loves paddling in our canoe. When we first got our canoe I always took the stern position since I have a lot more experience and would do all of the steering Now she's learning how to draw and pry and helps steer so we're working more as a team. Even though she doesn't really like kayaking herself, what she does like is having me happy so she supports my passion. She also like going to sea kayaking symposiums, specifically the LL Bean symposium in Maine, especially if it means staying in that wonderful B&B right on the bay. >On Wed, 03 Nov 1999 14:58:08 -0700 "Shawn W.

I doubt that I would build a double kayak but I've already had hints that I should build a stripper canoe after building the Norhtbay. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Nov 04 1999 - 04:16:57 PST
